Bringing this back up because it's still a much-needed feature for Live 13. Managing screen space on laptops is tough without an Auto-Hide Browser option.I've created a formal suggestion on Centercode, please vote there to make sure developers see it: https://ableton.centercode.com/project/ ... 3#Newreply

There are already 8 votes there

Let's make the workflow cleaner!

I actually already implemented this in my fUtility M4L device quite some time ago... for my personal use, i.e I haven't pushed the update yet because the Browser auto-hide implementation isn't ideal because of M4L's limitations. For my own use it's good enough, and it would actually be for everyone else; it just can't be perfect as per the current LOM state.
I never noticed this feature request though, so thanks for bringing that up, that made me decide on pushing the update for my device.
